Abstract

Zhang et al. present the genome of an Antarctic psychrophilic green alga and reveal that retrotransposon proliferation results in its relatively large genome. This genome provides evidences that support its extremophilic lifestyle, including expanded repertoire of genes for diverse metabolic processes and genes gained by horizontal gene transfer.
